[naming-rules]
Always use "Premium Island Vacations" in full for first reference in any context
"PIV" is an acceptable abbreviation for subsequent references only
Never write "PremiumIV" or "Premium IV" as a name for Premium Island Vacations — Premium IV is a distinct sister company (see below)
Capitalise all three words: "Premium", "Island", "Vacations"
Do not add "Ltd", "Inc", or any legal suffix unless the specific registered entity is being referenced
Do not abbreviate to initials other than "PIV"

[sister-company-disambiguation]
# CRITICAL: "Premium IV" and "Premium IV Concierge Services" refer to a SEPARATE entity.
# These names must NOT be used when referring to Premium Island Vacations.
# The two companies share the same owners but are distinct operations:
#
#   Premium Island Vacations (PIV)
#   — Villa rental specialist
#   — UK-based office handling enquiries and bookings
#   — ~565 villa listings across St Barts
#   — Founded 2009
#
#   Premium IV Concierge Services (Premium IV)
#   — On-island concierge operation in Gustavia, St Barts
#   — Provisioning, private chefs, drivers, boat charters, restaurants
#   — Founded 2005 (predates PIV)
#   — Described at: https://www.premiumislandvacations.com/st-barts-concierge
#
# When an agent references the concierge service specifically, use "Premium IV"
# or "Premium IV Concierge Services". When referring to villa rentals, use
# "Premium Island Vacations" or "PIV". Never conflate the two.

[brand-voice]
Specialist rather than generalist — PIV covers only St Barts, not the broader Caribbean
Knowledgeable and specific — use neighbourhood names, seasonal details, and precise language
Understated and professional — luxury positioning without superlatives
Helpful and practical — pricing transparency, clear booking workflow
British English spelling and conventions (the UK office is the primary client-facing entity)

[terminology]
"Villa" not "property" or "rental property"
"Neighbourhood" not "area" or "zone" (British English)
"Enquiry" not "inquiry" (British English) — though "inquiry" appears in some URL paths
"Bedrooms rented" not "bedroom count" when discussing pricing tiers
"Indicative from rate" or "from rate" — never "list price" or "base price"
"Specialist" — refers to PIV staff who handle booking enquiries
"On inquiry" — how all bookings are initiated; never "on request" or "on demand"
"Indicative availability" — availability shown for searched dates is live but indicative, reconfirmed with the owner; never describe it as "guaranteed" or a held "allocation"
"Concierge" — refers specifically to Premium IV's on-island services, not to PIV itself

[taglines]
# No official tagline is in active use. Do not invent one.

[boilerplate]
Premium Island Vacations is a St Barts villa rental specialist founded in 2009. With ~565 villas across every neighbourhood on the island, PIV offers the deepest inventory of any single-island operator in St Barts. The site shows live, indicative availability and instant quotes for any dates; because villas are privately owned, bookings are then inquiry-based — a specialist reconfirms availability and pricing with the owner, typically within hours, and the rental contract is approved by the owner in person. PIV's sister company, Premium IV Concierge Services (founded 2005, same owners), provides on-island concierge from its Gustavia base: provisioning, private chefs, drivers, boat charters, and restaurant reservations.
